The Tour de Suisse is an annual road cycling stage race with riders competing over 8 to 10 days and covering 2 weekends in June.
Along with the Critérium du Dauphiné, it is considered a challenging preparation race for the Tour de France, which is only a few weeks after the end of the Tour de Suisse. The race was first held in 1933 and has developed over its history in terms of timing and duration. Like the Tour de France and the Dauphiné, the Tour de Suisse has mountainous stages with long arduous climbs in the Swiss Alps suiting the hardy climbing specialists and at least one individual time trial to suit sprinters. Since 2011, the event has been considered part of the UCI World Tour, cycling's highest level of professional races.
